Excited to share my recent paper exploring the mRNA–protein relationship across Gram-negative bacteria, Gram-positive bacteria, and an archaeon. I’ve also shared comics highlighting my PhD work on mRNA–protein relationships‼️science comics alert ‼️ journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/mb…

I am excited to share a recent work (doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2…) I co-supervised with my friend Zhirui (Ray). In this study, we demonstrated that cyclization of archaeal membrane lipids can influence membrane protein function and archaellum assembly.

#MicrobiologyMonday: It's been proposed that delivery of the bacterial toxin colibactin requires cell-to-cell contact. However, new research in E. coli shows it can damage DNA in bacterial cells that are close by or hundreds of microns away. @mbiojournal journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/mb…

What's better than doing science by yourself? Doing it with friends and colleagues! This was the motivation behind our recent summer Archaeal Cell Biology Workshop-- Woods Hole-style collab here in San Francisco. @samjlord @A_CharlesOrszag @Archaellum @MBLScience @UCSF (1/n)

If you are interested in bacterial toxins check out our new database Toxinome:
nearly 1.5M toxins and 500K antitoxins within 59K bacterial genomes.
We defined the concept of genomic Toxin Islands which are densely populated with toxins and antitoxins. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
